ABOUT VICTORIA IRELAND
I’m a fundraising and leadership professional, focused on growing impact, building strong teams, and helping people lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. At Practical Action, I lead business development and philanthropy with a results‑focused, people‑centred approach. My team has doubled restricted income, and we’re now applying the same creativity and discipline to growing flexible and unrestricted funding. I’m passionate about supporting leaders, nurturing talent, and creating cultures where people can use their strengths fully. I believe the most effective leaders don’t lead like everyone else; they lead from who they are, making the most of their unique skills, energy, and passions.
